Cx5-2014 Rear Camera stopped workinghttps://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123863963-Cx5-2014-Rear-Camera-stopped-working&goto=newpost
Sun, 18 Mar 2018 14:14:55 GMTHi during this winter the rear camera slowly started to do strange thing, like showing green line, red... total black out and then another day worked OK. (freak)
But since 1 month now it's not even switching to the rear camera when we put in Reverse. Normally I would think something happen with the main console not switching to rear camera view.
But knowing what was hapening before to the camera i'm thinking maybe the camera fully defect or bad wire ?
Like always this is not cover by the warranty anymore...

Any advice or video to do a diagnostic of this kind of issue ? or place to buy repair part like a rear camera...

One thing dho... it's happened at the same time when we had snow storm and freeze and defreeze... and found that a lot of snow is getting inside between the roof and the trunk near those protected cable that go to the rear trunk (attached picture to explain better). I wonder if the snow/ice squeezed the cable for the rear camera, other light on the trunk is working fine dho...

Thu, 15 Mar 2018 22:02:39 GMTCan someone check this out?

I received mine today (paid $130, best offer accepted) and there is no Mazda markings on it, no Mazda part number. It appears "flimsier" and the spring-loaded ends don't work well. The auction clearly states that it is a part number KB7W-V1-350, but I don't think so! Can someone with the OEM cargo cover please let me know where the part number is located or where it says Mazda on yours, so that I can check mine for those same markings?

I was a lot cheaper than OEM, but I just thought this guy must have a bunch that fell off the back of a truck. If I keep it, I'm worried the fabric will eventually decay in the sun or the retraction spring will fail.

Thanks!

Can anyone suggest a good claybar/lube that will remove these contaminants? I was going to try the Meguiars Clay Kit, but I wasnít sure if that would work or not.

Any thoughts? What do you all prefer claybar wise?

Wed, 14 Mar 2018 23:01:08 GMTHey all, I bought an LED kit and had no problem with any of the other lights but for the life of me I cannot get the license plate caps off. I've tried everything and almost thought I was going to break them a couple of times. The manual just says to pry with a screwdriver like it did with the other lights--had no issues with others except for this. Anyone have some tips? Thanks

This is for the 2017-2018 CX-5Just picked up OEM rear cargo all weather mat for what I believe is the lowest online price: https://www.bamwholesaleparts.com/oe...iner-00008br23

This product addresses a very real deficiency in the Mazda CX-5 in that the tire air pressure and temperature are available from the TPMS sensors within the tires but not displayed on the gauge displays or on the infotainment system. This small, unobtrusive unit can be easily left by the storage cubby in front of the shifter or attached to the dashboard. It displays the four tire pressures in either PSI or Kpa and the temperature in F or C degrees.

The unit is powered by a micro usb connection so it can be used in the car via a cable or outside the car with a USB power bank. I had no issues getting a signal to read from the sensors either inside or outside the car. The sensors do need the car to have been driven for a small distance for a signal to be broadcast and registered on the monitor. I found that the air pressure that was displayed on the unit was very much in sync with the needle gauge I use. I also found that change in air pressure was very quickly displayed on the unit. My one month old car car had tires overinflated to 44 PSI which both the monitor and the needle gauge showed. This was the way that the car had been delivered from the dealer wo I was very surprised to find in this state.

I had some initial issues with finding a English manual, which had in part to do with the box being designed for the Chinese speaking market. I have emailed the vendor in regards this and some other concerns. They have been very responsive an shown quite a bit of interest in ensuring that I was happy with the unit and able to use it properly. I am sure that they will followup with any other purchasers as well.

I have found that on my 2018 CX-5 the sensors do not require the tires to be deflated under 27 PSI to trigger the onboard system to detect it as underinflated per the four tire learning method in the manual. All four tires were detected and registered on the unit within about 5 minutes of the unit being powered on and without any action taken on my part. This does mean that I do not have the monitor telling me precisely which tires is which on the vehicle. This is a minor inconvenience as generally the tires will tend to deflate at roughly the same rate. Under normal circumstances, all od the tires should need attention at the same time. If there is a tire which deflates more rapidly a quick check with a needle gauge and a visual check will show which is causing the problem.

There is a procedure to train the unit so that a single tire sensor will show the tire pressure of the exact tire that shows on the display - it has a graphic of a vehicle so that the front / rear and left / right locations can be matched. I am not sure if the single tire training method will work as the sensors seem to be picked up regardless of the onboard system. I may try this when the weather is better; however, I don't see this as a pressing concern.

Buyers should be aware that the unit ships from Taiwan, not from the continental US. To receive this in Canada, I had to pay both the exchange rate on the USD price and a customs and excise fee plus a handling fee from FedEx. This will added to the cost of the unit. Buyers may have to pay customs duties depending on the country to which they have it shipped.

Having said this, I like this unit and strongly recommend it. I had several issues with slow leaks on my previous car on different tires. These are not necessarily easy to see and in cold weather in Canada in the winter, it's easily to put off wanting to check it and address it. Beyond this, the unit shows the tire pressure while the tires are still cold. In many situations, we check our tire pressures when the car has been drive for some distance. I found that even with a drive of 25 kilometres (15 miles), the tires rose as much as 2 PSI. Adjusting the pressure on a warm tire will result in an incorrect tire pressure being maintained - the air pressure listed on the car door is meant to be from a cold tire. Cold tire air pressures will also rise in warmer weather meaning that tires that may be correctly adjusted at the beginning of a month may be wrong at the end of a month.

In summary, yes, the information about tire pressures should be made available by Mazda in the display. It isn't. This TPMS monitor does a great job of displaying accurate information and will make it much easier for me to manage my tires properly with minimal effort. I feel very confident that the tire's pressure will be known to me at all times as I drive the car.

Thu, 08 Mar 2018 23:12:32 GMTI find my 2016 cx-5 to be a little difficult in the storage department, I miss having a sub-cargo space to keep larger items. With the "main" area of my trunk devoted to my dog, I'm interested how people have taken advantage of the little side pockets, center console, under seats, or other areas of the car. Preferably, I'd like to prevent from drilling any holes, etc.

The biggest thing I would like to create or buy would be a net-like structure for the sides. Above the wheel wheel looks like a perfect place to keep a roll of "shop wipes". On the sides, I'd love a cubbie that could hold a first-aid kit, jumper cables.

Any and all pictures & links appreciated. I did get a coin holder that just fits in the tiny pocket to the left of the steering wheel:https://www.amazon.com/Custom-Access...coin+organizer

I was curious as to what the opinion is of getting it stock from the dealer versus going aftermarket. My intention now is to buy the guards and have them installed by the dealer and then going to Amazon and buying the Husky all-weather mats (they cover more surface area than the stock albeit it a little higher price) https://www.amazon.com/Husky-Liners-...oor+mats+husky

Anyone have any other recommendations? Also thinking about getting one for the trunk as well.

Sat, 03 Mar 2018 23:10:35 GMTHi all, I'm having trouble finding the roof capacity for the factory rails on the CX-5.. I assumed this would be clearly listed in the manual but I am struggling and probably just missing it. Can anyone help me out? I want to buy a rack to transport up to 2 kayaks, but they are heavy. 180ish pounds together. Most of the racks I am finding list 165 for capacity so I am starting to think that is just the limit of the vehicle itself.

Anybody transport large fishing kayaks with their CX-5? And if so how do you handle it? Also any rack recommendations would be great. Thanks

I just picked up an 18 Machine grey CX gt for my parents as a replacement for their 2008 Nissan Rogue in Wicked Black. The Nissans paint thickness and crappy clear coat made it a nightmare to keep looking good and after many smiles and many miles it was time so say goodbye to the Nissan and get them something with pretty good tech that also doesnt look tired (rav4). Anyway, as they must be hard to please, they demand seat covers to cover up the nice leather interior (they hate leather but i wanted the GT options and HUD so i win). So i settled on Wet Okole for durability based on hundreds of reviews from across all forums including Jeep and FJ/4Runner guys. So if theyre good enough for these wild animals, they should be fine for me.

Anyone has any wet okoles that they can post some pics of? Im really interested in what the full piping will look like but happy and excited to see what you guys have.
